About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

Yes, time for another ludum dare 25 game; can't help it if this jam's theme of villainy was such a success and devs seemed to really enjoy it and manage to come up with hundreds of mostly great games.

Does sport quite a bit of baseball bat swinging though. some successfully stylized graphics and quite a bit of jumping.
